Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
firefox:
Installed: 3.0.5+nobinonly
Candidate: 3.0.5+nobinonly
Version table:
*** 3.0.5+nobinonly

3) What you expected to happen
When I save a web page from firefox, I would like to be able to see network drives as well as local drives in the gnome file save dialogue / dialog window. The same is true for file uploading. In other gnome apps, e.g. gedit, I can see the network drives.
4) What happened instead
I only see local drives.
Update - I am guessing this is something (all) to do with gnome-vfs in that firefox does not talk to gnome-vfs whereas gedit does.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Do you have the firefox- 3.0-gnome- support package installed?
